Canopy Team served as an owner’s representative for Diamond Baseball Holdings on the design and construction of Fifth Third Park in Spartanburg, SC, the future home of the Hub City Spartanburgers (Single-A Affiliate of the Texas Rangers). The 3,500-seat ballpark opened in 2025 and is the anchor of a $425 million mixed-use development project intended to create a sports & entertainment district in the city to enhance the downtown area and drive economic growth for the community.
Canopy worked closely with the team and development partner to offer guidance on the design, construction, planning, and overall strategy of the ballpark, paying close attention to the food and beverage program, retail, player facilities, kids play area, signage, graphics, and artwork. Whether through working with local concessions partners or integrating Spartanburg’s baseball and cultural history into ballpark signage and displays, it has been important to honor the city’s legacy to foster civic pride and support for the team. For it’s inaugural season, the ballpark was ranked as #6 Best Single-A Ballpark in Newsweek’s Fans’ Choice.
Canopy continues to advise the Spartanburgers on the operations and capital investment strategy for the ballpark.
